We hope he’s got his cap and gown ready because it looks like horror icon Art the Clown is going to university, as the Terrifier movies are set to receive an academic conference.
The University of Warwick in the UK is getting ready to host the world’s first Terrifier conference, as announced in a press release from Signature Entertainment. "The Terrifier Conference 2025 will welcome global scholars to Warwick to take an alternative approach to enthusiastic critical dismemberment by engaging with the Terrifier film franchise as an object of scholarly importance," reads the statement.
The aim of the conference is to examine the franchise’s out-of-the-box presentation of certain horror tropes, such as women in horror, the construction of practical gore effects, religion in horror, kill scenes, and discuss the overall "unsettling visual creepiness" of Art the clown. The presentation will feature contributions from academics all over the world, including Brazil, France, and the US.
As well as Terrifier’s presentation, Signature Entertainment's Head of Publicity will also be in attendance to conduct a special seminar on how their Terrifier 3 marketing approaches helped the movie gain mass success across the UK and Ireland. Signature is also releasing a special Terrifier 1 and 2 box set called Terrifier: The Bloody Duo, which will be available to buy on May 26.
